Lady Brabourne College’s colourful fest with some starry performances rocked the city youth in the weekend.

Two days of non-stop fun kept the Lady Brabourne girls on their toes. November 20 and 21 saw the college at Park Circus being thronged by people from various age groups to join in the annual festivities of the college. Kaleidoscope 2009 lived up to its catchline- “Witness the 8th color evolve”. The students union of 2009-10 with the help of their teachers and principal did a fabulous job to make the event a grand success.

Here’s recapitulating some of the striking moments of day 1 of the event:

Take Us In- Guys are all too glad to be able to enter the premise of LBC that remains closed for them rest of the year. So of course, there were the usual bunch of studs, wannabes and other species of guys doing the rounds of the campus. What’s more guys from a college who were not invited came over and asked the executive board why they were left out and pleaded to be given chance to join in.

Debate behind the scenes- Some inside sources claim that the debate over what topic should be given for the debate preceded the actual event and was way more interesting! Nonetheless it was great to see the teams from various colleges of the city battle it out on stage. Girls are champions of verbal duels and if the location is LBC, need we specify who won?

Rubber dancer- Guest performers Satyaki and group danced away to glory encouraged by the catcalls and cheers of the college girls but the girls were not alone while cheering the group. The lead dancer of the group, Anurag also managed to get some middle-aged female fan following. “He seemed to have a body made of rubber. Anurag was fantastic” exclaimed a mother of a second-year student of LBC.

Folk- Folksinger, Utpalendu Chowdhury started by saying “There was a lot of smoke when I got up on stage, but let’s just hope that the performance doesn’t end in smoke.”

Along with Saikat Mitra, he was also the judge of eastern solo vocals. The professors loved the guest performer’s show as much as the students and joined in to dance to popular tunes like “shohag chaand bodoni…”, “bodhu re…”. The LBC girls had pledged to dance to any song sung and they did not even spare the slow ghazal “tumko dekha toh...” and some were seen trying out waltz to that tune!
